Better, but still a touch tense
As I said this morning, awoke antsy and such but it never did completely go away but did get somewhat better though.
One thing that has been happening the past few days is spotting doable properties outside the city that I can actually contemplate and today got an MLS matrix of a place in Skyway, a part of unincomporated King County that sits between Rainier Beach, Renton, Tukwilla and Seattle and along SR 167/Rainier Ave. Bryn Mawr sits ona hill and has views back to towards Seattle etc and typically costs more while Skyway is lower down and nearer to Renton and housing there is less, but that area has something of a reptutation of being sketchy in at least places.
The place in question is an 1195SqFt I think is the size, 2 story townhouse style condo with an HOA that is listing for $119.900, yes you read that right and it looks very nice for having been built in 1980 as it was refreshed recently so that helps. The HOA is $316/Mo, but with that low price, I should be able to easily afford it as the taxes are just over 1 grand a year. But the question is, is that a sketchy area or not?
Got a phone message in to my mortgage lender to ensure that the price, HOA etc will fall somewhere in my budget, or not but have not heard anything as yet.
Now, looking in the Tacoma area, I'm seeing stand alone homes in my price range that look doable but the main thing now is dealing with the housing situation as it is now for the short term until I can find a home to purchase. Next Friday I will top off my minimum contribution again so that's ready to go and once I make the offer and it's accepted, pendning the inspection, it should take about a month to close, baring any issues along the way.
I need to get the latest numbers on my credit score to ensure it hasn't taken a dive with the electric bill that I almost got shut off. I will be paying the bill off once my tax refund drops before long, hopefully mid month, barring any problems since I filed before I realized I needed form 1095 to prove I have health insurance, but through work, ooops. Anyway, that can be easily fixed if asked for it.
In the meantime, I go through days like this where tension is the name of the game and part of it today was I ran out of the house sans taking medications so I'm sure that was not helping things one bit.
So with that, time I go fix some dinner, some quesidelias I'll make. BTW, got the kitchen cleaned up last night, outside of the baking sheets and a couple of other items and this morning's breakfast dishes so that feels good and made up a batch of Molassas Crinkles and they came out perfectly, chewy and delicious indeed and got all of that stuff washed but the baking sheets along with the rest of the kitchen last night so go me.
